Scientific Notation Converter

Convert any number into scientific notation a × 10ⁿ, or expand scientific notation back into standard form — with the coefficient, exponent, order of magnitude, and full step-by-step working.

Scientific notation:  a × 10n,  where 1 ≤ |a| < 10
Value

Standard → Scientific: type any number (decimals and negatives are fine). We'll rewrite it as a × 10ⁿ with 1 ≤ |a| < 10.

Results
